Abstract
Recent studies have revealed that human milk harbors stem cells at various stages of differentiation, including pluripotent stem cells, hematopoietic stem cells and mesenchymal stem cells. The stem cellular components of human milk with high interindividual variability are affected by gestational age and lactation stages. The maternal stem cells which pass to the infant through human milk could help boost offspring growth and development. Human milk stem cell with multi-directional differentiation potential may be a new source of stem cell replacement therapy in the future. We hereby review the latest progress in human milk stem cells from these aspects.
Key words:
Milk, human; Stem cells; Child development
期刊介绍:
Chinese Journal of Perinatal Medicine was founded in May 1998. It is one of the journals of the Chinese Medical Association, which is supervised by the China Association for Science and Technology, sponsored by the Chinese Medical Association, and hosted by Peking University First Hospital. Perinatal medicine is a new discipline jointly studied by obstetrics and neonatology. The purpose of this journal is to "prenatal and postnatal care, improve the quality of the newborn population, and ensure the safety and health of mothers and infants". It reflects the new theories, new technologies, and new progress in perinatal medicine in related disciplines such as basic, clinical and preventive medicine, genetics, and sociology. It aims to provide a window and platform for academic exchanges, information transmission, and understanding of the development trends of domestic and foreign perinatal medicine for the majority of perinatal medicine workers in my country.
